Research Summary

The NFL now interviews potential new coordinators from a wider pool of candidates thanks to

the Rooney Regulation.

Carroll, C. (2018, December 31). What is the Rooney Rule? Retrieved July 14, 2019, from https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/12/31/rooney-rule-explained-nfl-diversity-policy.

This citation is significant because it explains the Rooney Regulation, the moment it was

established, and whether its implementation led toward additional businesses adopting the

similar approach. The number of minority coordinators that were employed, individuals that had

also gone terminated, and those who remain are all mentioned in this citation, which supports my

claim by explaining the improvements to the kind of persons the NFL investigates and employs.

In addition, the proportion of minority instructors in the NFL is still quite modest compared to all

instructors.

Reid, J. (2018, January 11). It's time for the NFL to take the Rooney Rule seriously or get rid of it. Retrieved July 14, 2019, from https://theundefeated.com/features/its-time-for-the-nfl-to-take- the-rooney-rule-seriously-or-get-rid-of-it/

This citation is significant because it discusses how, despite certain minority instructors

being hired in the NFL because of the Rooney Policy, the situation is still far from ideal. The

section explains how League proprietors continue to deny minority management applicants

equitable opportunities to negotiate for positions as offensive coordinators or top executives.

This section will be crucial when I discuss the changes that continue to be implemented to the

regulation and the importance of increased oversight to make absolutely sure that groups are

actually following it.

Duffley v. New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association, 122 N.H. 484, 446 A.2d 462

(1982).

This instance, which we were discussing during my online class at the start of the term, is

comparable to my thesis issue in that it involves a property that was not even specifically granted

to a particular individual. The claimant in Duffley v. New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic

Organization was rejected the opportunity to play sports for a second season. The Rooney

Regulation and the fact that minority instructors in the NFL have been unable to be vetted for

directing openings, let alone having been employed by an NFL team, led the judge to regard this

as illegal. Minority applicants just weren't afforded the equal privileges to interviews as other

non-minority applicants. This will become crucial when I get to the section of my thesis where I

discuss a situation I can use to link my thesis to.
